Jamie Carragher believes that Liverpool face a tough encounter against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday but is confident that the Reds can cause an upset at Anfield.

Harry Redknapp's side have been a force in the Premier League this season and served a 4-0 thrashing to the Merseyside club at White Hart Lane earlier in the campaign.

Despite Spurs sitting third in the Premier League table, Carragher believes that Liverpool's recent victories over Manchester United and Manchester City will work in their favour

"Spurs have probably been the most impressive team in the league for me this season," Carragher told the club's official website. "I know they aren't top but they're great to watch. They play great football, very fast-paced and they certainly showed that against us at White Hart Lane. That was our biggest defeat of the season and something we want to rectify.

"They also won at Anfield towards the end of last season. That's probably in the mind as much as anything. We realise we're playing against one of the best teams in the league and it's going to be very difficult.

"But we have proved in the last two home games, against the two teams above Tottenham, that we're more than a match for anyone in the country."

Luis Suarez is expected to return to Kenny Dalglish's side following an eight-match suspension.
